Godhood (Part One)

"Did a superweapon really go off at Quade Port in Gangsas?"

"Seriously?"

"Of course. Europe's earthquake monitoring networks all detected it, and there was even a tsunami in the Mediterranean Sea."

"They say it had a yield of five hundred kilotons."

"Holy crap, what the hell happened?"

"Is World War III about to break out? This newbie is trembling."

"Exclusive inside scoop: the superweapon was deployed by the Council of True Knowledge to deal with some Alpha powerhouse."

"The Council of True Knowledge again? Those damned bastards!"

"How is that Alpha now? Alive or dead?"

"Heh. Let me tell you something: the Council of True Knowledge is history!"

"Rejoice and spread the word..."

The Inner World had been far from peaceful lately. Undercurrents surged, opinions ran rampant, and the Inner Net Forum had become more bustling and uproarious than ever before. Both its online user count and post volume had broken records.

Superweapons were the most powerful and terrifying weapons in the Blue Star World. They represented the highest level of deterrence and were the foundation of world peace. Due to restrictions imposed by relevant treaties, no country had conducted another test in the past twenty years.

Much less used one in actual combat.

The only combat use of a superweapon had taken place more than seventy years ago.

Therefore, the superweapon detonated at Quade Port had caused an enormous shock throughout the world.

However, to prevent public panic, the governments of various countries had tacitly coordinated news controls and blockades.

The news visible on television and the internet claimed that a magnitude-five earthquake had occurred at Quade Port, causing an arsenal belonging to a local armed organization to explode.

Such an explanation could fool ordinary people, but not Transcendent Beings. The relevant information quickly spread throughout the Inner World
